STBX is stalling, saying he will have money to pay in September. We're trying not to use attorneys. He owes $22,500 to me but is "trying to scrape it up". He can't get a loan.......over his head in debt....no assets. Is it to my benefit to wait? Or is he up to something? Can "waiting" be to his benefit? We've been separated 2 months. I'm just feeling a bit paranoid :(
He is the one that owes. It is to his benefit to wait, not yours. What consequence does he face for not paying? If he has no credit or assets, where is he expected to get the money?
Haven't filed. The debt is for half of credit cards (all in my name) and half of line of credit that he convinced me to take out to pay off his previous debts (his debt prior to marriage). Everything is in MY name. Mortgage, line of credit, credit cards, etc. Do you know how "prolonging this" will help him? I'm ready to file but am/was in hopes he would come up with more cash up front. He makes good money - lots more than me - but it burns holes in his pockets and he can't save or pay his debts. His money to repay me will come from his commissions............If he repays at all. And how can this be written up in the decree that I get what is due to me??
